Why?
Really poor attempt at a Haiku there fella

Fair play to Ajax - they know we're desperate now and United will likely ultimately pay their ludicrous €100m asking price. We're specialists in dithering in the market and clubs rightfully add on a late tax 
The interview doesn't shine Ajax in good light as a development team for agents and starlets. Antony claims Ajax are aware that the project was for him to play with Ajax for 2 years, and that they were already informed in February and June that he wants to move on. No excuses for them in impeding his transfer.
I know I'm in the minority here, but Antony's behaviour over this really makes me a bit sceptical. We'd absolutely hate every second of it if the shoe was on the other foot
Why? Because he rightly feels after two years playing in Holland he’s outgrown the league and should be allowed to leave to further his development, earn millions more and play in the biggest league around? Ajax are being cnuts. Yes, they can refuse to sell him, it doesn’t mean they aren’t being cnuts.
Good thing we're not a stepping stone then. Let's not give him a reason to do that.
We are going to get absolutely fleeced on the deadline day, aren't we.
Exactly.
They are trying to make out they don’t have enough time to replace him but they have known since February he wanted to go and he’s told them repeatedly since.
The man’s being held against his will.
We're going to give them 100 million aren't we
I don't think there has ever been a player who tried that hard to come to United.
Spend this money on De Jong
It’s a no sense, give game time to Garnacho

Surely they won’t want to keep him in their dressing room after that?
Here comes the overpay
On a side note, this interview with Antony is quite a coup for Romano
Because will never happen again this train
So he’s gone public now. Wasn’t expecting that and well here comes the €100M offer.
He's told the club since the start of the year that he won't be renewing and to look into offers when they arrived. They've received the largest offers in Dutch football history and it's been rejected. He's human so he's justifiably furious, I would too.
As a United fan it's been endearing seeing a player hellbent on joining for a change personally, if it was the other foot I'd gladly accept selling the wantaway player as keeping an unhappy player will only be a hindrance (hence why I still want us to get rid of Ronaldo)
Would be idiotic to do so.
They no longer have any relationship with the player and it can’t be recovered.
In his eyes they have really done him over.
Ah it's grand, Ronaldo did it to us and we welcomed him.back. Nobody is really being that awful. Us, Ajax and the player all trying to get their way. As long as he plays with commitment if the deal collapses then zero harm done.
Thread title change
Antony reads the caf confirmed.
Bet you weren't so forgiving when Pogba wanted to leave us or towards Ronaldo right now (or the first time he left)
#FreeAntony
In all seriousness , the man has a point, he's saying that this is a record level bid for an Eredivisie player, and it truly is an overpay from our end already. So I get his frustration and anger, especially after the club and Antony already had multiple conversations in the past 8 months.

Same price as Maguire?
Those who think Romano is a fraud in the mud…
@charlenefan Then why are you having a go at Antony? He has every right to be fecked off. Why the feck does he want another year playing in Holland? He’s Brazilian, they signed him under the pretext of development then a ladder to a bigger club - it’s time they stop acting like shit houses and let him go for a record fee and huge profit.
Well he could have thought about his 2 year project when signing a 5 or something years contract?
As much as people hate Romano, he really is the biggest insider in the game.
I've repeatedly told his detractors that actual players and executives genuinely check with him for info/update during transfer season. He's as well connected as anyone in the business
